The Crown, Thames Ditton

We went to the Crown on Saturday night and i have to say how delightful everything was. We went in expecting pub food and the usual pub service but we found a very two very nice waiting staff with huge smiles welcoming us all dispite not booking they were so accomadating and freindly. The food was superb infact way better than we expected. I had the dover sole with caper butter and gratin potatoes which quite frankly wouldn't have been out of place in an up-market restaurant. My boy friend had the sirloin steak and he was delighted the chef had cooked it well done without burning it to a cinder! the fries were first class as was the pepper corn sauce. the two others we were with had rack of lamb and both declared them excellant. all in all the meal was great, so good we've booked for our annerversay dinner!! oh, by the way the beers are in excellant condition and a very good selection is offered.

The Crown, Thames Ditton

Not sure if 'eshergirl' actualy did eat at the crown??? we have eaten at the crown sevaral times - they serve the BEST pizza and pasta for miles. the service is laid back but proffesional, indeed Oli Blanc (son of the best chef in England - Raymond Blanc - and according to my wife the sexiest chef in the world !!) is the head of front of staff - Oli is not bad looking either!) enough, already...
We live in Thames Ditton and we, and tons of our friends, are delighted and pleased with the way The Crown is now run..If we don't support our locals - food - beer or otherwise then Tesco's, etal will open up instead or worse - go back to the way it was. Well done everyone at the Crown!!
